Animal Farm - boxer

In many ways, Squealer’s name says it all. Squealer is an extremely clever pig and a brilliant talker and the animals seem to think he could simply turn black into white. Squealer rises to power because of his quick mind. The first time we see squealer is when some of the other animals question the consumption of the milk apples, which then squealer gives a fabulous and persuasive speeches (like he always does) is about how the pigs need the milk and apples by saying “contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of the pig. We pigs are brainworkers” which the animals fall for and if there was any debate the sheep would bleat out loudly “four legs good, two legs bad” to confuse the animals with their own thoughts. During his speeches he confuses the animals by skipping with excitement whisking his tail. He has an explanation for everything. Squealer begins his explanations by using the word “comrades”. The use of these words leads the animals to believe in thinking that squealer is actually talking to them individually and this would make the animals more likely to believe in what he is saying. In his speeches squealer uses repetition, lying, assertion and mostly by rhetorical questions. Squealer is a very clever character. He is fat white pig, who stands by Napoleon throughout this novel Squealer also uses "rumors" to hide his viciousness. All the animals support him, think he is right, and do what he tell them to do. Snowball and Napoleon argue at every opportunity possibly, so napoleon uses the dogs to chase snowball which is successful and steals snowballs plan to build a windmill, squealer then goes round the farm so no animal is against napoleon by asking rhetorical question mostly “surely you do not want Jones to come back?”. Squealer gives an other smooth speech about how Napoleon never opposed to the windmill and it was his idea in the first place which snowball stolen from napoleon “The windmill was, in fact Napoleon own creation” which is an actual lye. Also in this speech he uses assertion by saying “Tactics, comrades tactics!” During the building of the windmill near to the age of Boxers retirement he was bringing up a few more materials for the re-building of the windmill after it had been blown up by the neighbouring farms, Boxer fell over and couldn’t get up, eventually when he got to his stall the pigs were organizing boxer to be sent of to the slaughterers which soon enough happened. As boxer was being sent away the animals read what was on the van and screamed in dis-belief three days later it was announced by squealer of course that boxer had died in hospital with squealer at his side which in actual fact is lies he also announces that the van marked “alfred simmonds, horse slaughterer and glue- boiler, Willingdon. Dealer in hides and bone-meal” had ”previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out” and that was how the mistake had arisen. At the sound of this the animals where enormously relieved. Squealer also convinces the animals that every time the commandments are changed they had simply forgotten it and when the pigs were drinking some whisky that was once belonged to Mr. Jones they got drunk, which was against one of the commandments “No animal shall drink alcohol” squealer got up on ladder with a paint bucket and wrote “No animal shall drink alcohol, to access” then fell of the ladder, the animals heard him fall and went outside to see what was happening and yet not raising any suspicion this shows how much the animals are brainwashed. Squealer is like Napoloens wing man always covering up and making up things to Napoloens power and always succeeded to cover up the truthful fact.

...﻿AnimalFarm: Critical Essay
In the era of the Russian Revolution George Orwell wrote the fable known as “AnimalFarm” to highlight the events and outcome of the revolution. Orwell symbolises iconic figures during the revolution through the use of farmanimals such as pigs, cows and donkeys. Throughout the novel Orwell takes us through the story of the animals and how they deal with overtaking the human race, food shortages, deaths and have to tolerate with the horrors of having a tyrannical leader. Napoleon makes a strong impact on the readers as a character to be wary of as he slowly starts to sabotage the animal’s hard work and the equal society. Instantly the readers are suspicious of his scheming and forceful behaviour.
During chapter 2, the first impression of Napoleon gives us a warning of the tyrant leader he will soon develop into.
“Napoleon was a large, rather fierce – looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker but with a reputation for getting his own way.”
Due to the fact Napoleon is ‘fierce – looking’ directly gives the impression he is frightening and to be afraid upon. The idea that he doesn’t talk much but has ‘a reputation for getting his own way’ which conjures the idea he uses violent tactics and force to get what he wants. With this first portrayal of Napoleon the reader is now cautious of his character...

George Orwell’s novel, AnimalFarm shows the overlaying theme of the corruption of power. Power, more often than not, causes the bearer to become corrupt, which causes them to lose most sense, besides that, which will get them more power. In the beginning of the novel we are introduced to Old Major. He holds power on Manor Farm. Old Major uses his power to introduce Animalism and the Seven Commandments. He dies before we can see if his power corrupts would him. Napoleon who takes control of the farm next lives throughout the book therefore we see the corruption of his high status of power. One other animal that we see have the status of power is Boxer. He doesn’t have the same type of power as the other two animals nor would he use it in the same way if he had. Boxer is one example of someone who has power but doesn’t let it corrupt him. Power can only corrupt you if you let it. Power contains many factors in the lead up to corruption. AnimalFarm shows the how depending on your nature and what you do and treat your power; it will change whether for the good or the bad.
Old Major is the power head at the beginning of the novel. He is well respected among the other animals to which they are “happy to lose an hour’s sleep in order to hear what he had to say”. At the time Old Major is one of the...

...Boxer’s Narrative
My name was Boxer, and I was an enormous carthorse known for my hard work. Due to my immense strength, I was a rather useful animal around the farm. The farm wasn’t always like it is now. It all started off when Mr. Jones was our master, and Old Major, a judicious pig, had a vision of a rebellion; animals against humans. Unfortunately, he died shortly after his wise points had been announced, but he had made it clear to all the animals that whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, all human habits are bad, and all animals are equal. Since Jones was often drunk, he left us without food or warmth during the cold winter days so one day we all decided ransack the shed with the food. Favorably, our plans caused Jones to flee, and left us animals with our very own “AnimalFarm”. AnimalFarm was the spark to a new society called Animalism, in which animals had full control and shall one day rule out humans. The pigs, the most clever animals on the farm, assumed themselves leaders, and Napoleon, a mysterious yet strongly intelligent pig, managed to drive away Snowball, and established himself as the ruler of AnimalFarm. It came to my attention that Napoleon's reasoning for sending away Snowball was praiseworthy, and he soon...

...﻿ AnimalFarm Essay Victoria Watt
George Orwell’s classic novel “AnimalFarm” is an allegory, based loosely on the events of the Russian Revolution. It focuses on the ideas and difficulties that the participants in democracies face, and how power can lead to corruption. This essay will focus on the ways power corrupts the pigs and the running of AnimalFarm. By the end of the book, the pigs- who, in the beginning, shared the capitalistic ideals of the rest of the animals- have become elite dictators and it is notable that the plot has come around full circle.
Manor farm- a seemingly regular, ordinary farm- is run by a man called Farmer Jones and is home to many different animals. Due to Jones’ careless alcoholic habits, he mistreats his animals and they often go hungry. When the farm’s prize boar, Old Major, tells the other animals of his ideas of rebellion, freedom and a farm run by animals, they adopt his ideals. After Old Major’s peaceful death, the animals put his plan into action and rebel against Farmer Jones. The animals- mainly the pigs, who are the smartest of the animals- come up with a set of commandments...

...﻿AnimalFarm Analytical Essay
Topic: It is fear along with manipulation, propaganda, the ignorance of the lower animals and the level of intelligence that the pigs have over the other animals that controls the lower animals in George Orwell's AnimalFarm.
Fear, while extremely prominent, is not the only device used to control the lower animals in the allegorical masterpiece, AnimalFarm by George Orwell. Along with fear, the pigs use manipulation, propaganda, the ignorance of the lower animals and the level of intelligence that they have over them. Underneath this story of a group of animals attempting to create a new world, lies a tale of corruption and power that ultimately denounces the notion of capitalism.
Fear is used extensively throughout AnimalFarm by the pigs; they use it as a compelling mechanism to control the lower animals. It is an obvious abuse of power by the pigs and forces the animals to do things they usually wouldn’t. One of the fears shared by all of the animals is that of Mr Jones returning to take over the farm, the pigs know this very well and use it to their advantage. They continually remind them of the threat at their meetings: “Surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?”...

...presentation based on the book AnimalFarm, written by George Orwell. It is a satire as well as a fiction.
This book is basically about a revolution that take place in the Manor Farm, where the animals can no longer tolerate the human owner, Mr. jones, who didn’t provide enough food for the animals, leaving them starving but forcing them to work very hard at the same time, and rise up under the commands of mainly the 3 pigs, Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer. The idea of starting a revolution was originally put forward by Old Major, which was a well-respected old boar in the farm. He then died 3 days later before the revolution started. He also announced the 7 commandments of animalism along with the phrase “four legs good, two legs bad” that time and had all animals sang the song “Beats of England” to represent their hope and freedom.
At first, under the leadership of Snowball, the farm was a success. The animals had more than enough to eat. The pigs learnt how to write so they changed the farm’s name from Manor Farm to AnimalFarm and had the 7 commandments written on a barn wall for all animals to see. They had “Sunday Meetings” regularly to openly discuss about all sorts of things and to sing “Beats of England” to remind the animals that the revolution wasn’t...
